Failure while launching game...

[Elvors]

Sorry for double post, but I didn't get any replies yet.

you can try setting System.Plugins.iSndSysRenderer in pslaunch.cfg in the planeshift folder to crystalspace.sndsys.renderer.null
though I'm not 100% sure it doesn't still make an attempt to load openal

Setting the option didn't change anything.
It's still falling back to default device (ALSA, it seems):

Code: [Select]

I'm on current Ubuntu.

Reinstalling solved the problem (repairing the installation didn't).
If anybody is interested in exploring the reasons for such behaviour, I'm keeping the old installation around and will post the results of diff runs.

EDIT: I had to clean out the settings in .PlaneShift, too, else pslaunch would run but psclient would segfault, i.e. the previous behaviour was reversed.
Very strange, that all.
